Should the current tenant decides not to renew the lease and vacate the property, we may go month to month, or place our "For Rent" sign on the premises and begin showing the property again, depending on circumstances and how good the tenant is. Our goal is to have no vacancy.

Property Inspections

We will conduct the following property inspections on your property:

We will be Pro-active with added inspections when your property is vacant

"Move-In" inspection report is conducted with the new tenants prior to their moving in

Contact is made with the new tenants to make sure that all is well with the house after move in and to go over their "Check in" sheet.

"Move-Out" inspection and documented report of the condition of property is filled out.

Collections and Delinquencies

Timing is crucial when it comes to rent collections. To avoid any misunderstandings, our policy regarding delinquencies is brought to the new tenants attention. Late charges are heavily imposed to avoid any delinquencies. Our policies are as follows:

Rents are to be collected on the first of each month

A 3-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate notice is given to the tenant on the fourth day of the month. This is the start of the eviction process.

If the tenant fails to make their payment after receiving the 3-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate notice, we will continue to the next step of the eviction process with the help of Landlord solutions, who specializes in evictions. You will be receiving a letter from BCI Properties, LLC of the progress.

We will follow through with the process until the actual eviction of the tenants with the supervision of the Sheriffs Department.

Accounting

Rental payment check and the monthly statement will be mailed to you as soon as tenants check clears.

A monthly report, as well as an annual report, of your income and expenses of your property will be sent to you.

Mortgage payments and/or homeowners association payments will be mailed if you instructed us to do so.

In the last month of your tenants lease, we will hold additional funds in your trust account to protect you by insuring that adequate funds are available to make your rental "rent-ready".

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

All tenants are required to submit all maintenance requests in writing. However, in order to preserve the value of your property and maintain a positive relationship with the tenants, the home must be properly maintained.

In order to improve the properties rent-ability to prospective renters, we will maintain the property (example: mow lawn and weed, clean the house, shampoo the rug, repairs, utilities, and paint when necessary) at a nominal cost to the owner.

*In the event that any of these repairs were caused by the former tenants, you can expect that we will use the security deposit of the renter to restore its pre-rented condition upon move out before asking owners for funds.

Minor maintenance and repairs requested by rental applicants to secure a lease will be performed no more than the amount agreed upon on page 2 of the Exclusive Rental Agency and Employment Contract and Power of Attorney. Locks are changed prior to the new tenant moving in to avoid the possibility of any liability.

We will institute maintenance and repairs when deemed necessary for the preservation of your property, safety, and security of tenants and/or the continuation of the residents tenancy.
